The trouble is, once one looks through these typefaces and their weights, widths and styles, one begins to realize how handy the extra options are. Would you rather see more font families with just this basic set? We wonder if this is enough for some people. That will provide all the standard functionality you need to apply emphasis and other standard HTML text styling. Probably the most basic selection for web use is a regular, italic, and bold font. Of course it can be anything in between, but that’s the nature of the dilemma. So, how should you approach this question? First, consider the two ends of your spectrum of choices - one family with lots of fonts, or several families with just a few fonts each. (See below for a list of the typeface families that are Adobe-owned or otherwise eligible as web fonts.) As you consider the possibilities, keep that in mind.
Many are licensed from other foundries, and Adobe cannot offer these fonts for use on the web. Maybe you do too.īefore I go any further, I have to explain something that not everyone realizes: Not all of the fonts in the Adobe Type Library are owned by Adobe. We’ve already had a number of requests, but just about everyone has an opinion when it comes to type. We have our own ideas, but we want to hear from you. This is our current challenge: to make a relatively small selection of fonts that will be satisfying and useful for our customers. With that first release behind us, we can now consider our next web font release - but preparing those fonts for the web takes time and resources, so there’s only so much we can tackle this time. When we selected the first sixteen families for the debut release of Adobe Web Fonts, we used our own judgement and some internal data to choose an assortment of fonts (121 altogether) that we thought would offer excellent typographic options for our customers and satisfy a few well-known user requests (e.g. Still think it’s easy? Consider this: The complete family of Kepler Std fonts in the Adobe Type Library contains 192 different fonts.
You’ll need some italics to go with them, and you might already be accustomed to having at least a couple optical sizes to choose from. If you had to pick twenty or thirty fonts to take with you to a desert island, what would they be? Does that sound like a lot? You probably want a few different typefaces, and various weights and widths.
